Scottish League
After the optimism of the previous season, Dumbarton's 13th season in a row in the Second Division was to prove unlucky as they slumped to finish 16th out of 18, with 22 points - 30 behind champions Third Lanark.[ 1] During the season, a number of big defeats were suffered, conceding a 9, an 8 and 6 goals twice.
Scottish Cup
This season it was a second round exit, to First Division St Johnstone.
Dumbarton failed to regain the Dumbartonshire Cup, with amateur side Vale Ocaba retaining the trophy. Both games were held over until the start of the 1935–36 season.
